Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Silence means security silence means approval
Sadly, I think his hypothesis is flawed. Yes, millions of women might watch to fume over JL Halfwit playing such a character, but I don't think advertisers would want their products to appear in the midst of a show whose chief draw would be the seething hatred the audience feels toward the star.
OK, think about this. You have 10M people with seething hatred at a star, and they're going to have seething rage left over. If I were a political campaign or a activist organization, I'd be buying time on there in a heartbeat, because my negative ads would direct that leftover seething for my good.
Then, I just get JL Hugetit to do a 30-second spot extolling the virtues of the GOP, and presto -- Dems have Congress back in 2006.
You're just not eevl enough, Matt.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Now it's thundering, and I'm cold, and wishing I hadn't left one of my windows open at home.

Millions of others would see the premise and just not bother to ever watch. IJS.

What is even happening?
And approximately 8 million of us are bitter that Joan of Arcadia was replaced by it. I get itchy calling women names like halfwit and hugetit though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why can't we call women halfwits?

I'd probably be right there with them. The concept worked for a laugh once, with Denise Richards as a tank top-clad nuclear scientist in a Bond movie, but it would have no repeated appeal for me.
I mourn the fact that I'm going to have to watch an hour of her show at some point to see an actor I like as one of the ghosts.

I don't know. I lost my rationale, but I was on a roll, so I went with it. In this case, maybe it itched this time, because it's so obviously derived from her name, but halfwit and nitwit, etc., also just seem to be used against women more than men, politicians excepted.

Pogara -- I am so sorry for your loss. My sympathies to you and your sister.

Don't think of it as me calling a woman "Halfwit." Think of it as me calling a vapid performer that makes Dan Cortese look like a skilled thespian who's succeeded based on talent alone in comparison 'Halfwit."
